Well, I'm Danish so obviously I speak Danish. I speak English fluently and I'm pretty much also fluent in German. Other than that I've taken Spanish for two years and because I'm Scandinavian I also understand both Swedish and Norwegian, but don't exactly speak them.
My native language is french, english is my 2nd and I'm trying to learn japanese since a couple of days. :p
I speak fluent English and Engrish. I've studied Spanish, German, Latin and Japanese in that order. I can remember very little of most of them. I took two years of Japanese at college and it was only about 4 years ago and I already forgot most of it.
toire wa doko desu ka
I'm fluent in Tagalog and English. Yay!
I am Chinese, but English is my main language(family) and Mandarin is for friends. I'm from malaysia so it's compulsory to learn Malay(Negara bodoh.). I speak Cantonese the most and learning the basics of Japanese.
I didn't know Tagalog was a language. I thought it was a girl scout cookie. So delicious though.
WTH
Bunny, I believe that's Tagalong you're thinking of. Tagalog (not pronounced tag-a-log btw) is the language most filipinos (or flips, lol) can speak. I wish I know how to speak it, but I understand it. I speak English only. :(
Whoa! Most Scandinavians I've come across are fluent in many languages! :eek:
I speak only two. :cry:
I'll study Spanish next. It's relatively easy since around 30% of Tagalog vocabulary is Spanish. :D Also for the sake of learning a new widely spoken language. :love:
Scandinavians rock :cool:Quote:

you mean if scandinavian languages are similar to english so we can understand english because of that? in that case no, maybe a few words are similar but those are not many (and i guess imported words as well...)Quote:

my dad's from macedonia so i speak that fluently, and since it's a slavic language i understand serbian, bosnian (is that correct bosnian :confused: ), bulgarian, croatian pretty good, can't speak them that good but it's the same as with the scandinavian languages, they're alot like eachother...and i would definitely manage living in those countries language-wise...
i'm also studying german, pretty good at speaking/writing it, but because those germans talk sooooo fast, i can't always get everything they're saying...yikes like race cars...
and then of course english, my mother's australian so i'm fluent in it, studying it now but in an advanced class, or whatever it's called, advanced english i think...
and i'm thinking of studying latin as well next year or the year after that if it can fit my schedual...
wow, you know lining it up like that makes for quite a list... can't help but to feel a little proud :p, and yay to all the other scandinavians i see you're really good at languages too...
cantonese and english

English, as it's pretty much a required language to learn.
Spanish, but not exactly fluently.
